Dear Diane and Family,Anne and I have had the good luck and good fortune to have known what a great man Ron was. I will miss those spontaneous long distance phone calls that Ron and I had even in the midst of his busiest times. He always made time for us to talk and visit, and I will always truly value our life-long friendship. It was a true pleasure and honour to know Ron, and he will be sadly missed. With love from your friends in Canada,

In the four years I have worked at Ocean Edge, I have gotten to know Ron fairly well, both on and off the golf course. He was kind, warm, thoughtful, well spoken and was a great contributor to the Membership. He always had a smile on his face and was joking with everyone. He will be missed as a friend and member to everyone here that knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with the Nahass family.

I am so sad over the passing of my beloved uncle. He always was so much fun and was so good to me. An uncle who was only 5 years older than me, an uncle who drove me to the Jersey shore on my 17th birthday, an uncle who fought for our country in Vietnam and who spent a wonderful New Year's Eve with me as my escort in Japan. He will be in my heart forever.
